“Mei Mei, why don’t you and your grandfather stay at my place? It’s not safe here,” Li Gui said worriedly.
“No worries. Qiao Gui didn’t go into the house and just kept circling outside. You can go back, mom. Xiao Wei and the others are still at home.” Qiao Mei patted Li Gui’s hand to reassure her.
After Li Gui left, Qiao Mei helped her grandfather back into the house to rest. She had gained a lot tonight!
Zhao Liang brought Qiao Gui to the county city overnight. Usually, such matters would be reported to the county city police station, but Zhao Liang was shrewd enough to think that it would be the same whether to send him to the police station or the armed forces department.
Since Qiao Qiang had said that he wanted to call Section Head Chen of the armed forces department, Zhao Liang would just deliver the culprit there directly so that Section Head Chen would not have to make a trip to the police station.
Qiao Gui remained unconscious in the horse carriage. He still had not woken up when they reached the armed forces department’s compound. Zhao Liang politely told the soldier at the door the reason for his visit and went up to look for Chen Hu.
He was quite lucky that Chen Hu was on duty today.
Zhao Liang knocked on the door and entered the room. “Hello, Section Head Chen. I’m the village chief of Foshan Village. My name is Zhao Liang. Qiao Mei asked me to come and look for you.”
When Chen Hu heard that Qiao Mei had asked Zhao Liang to come, he immediately stood up and asked, “What happened to Qiao Mei?”
“It’s fine. We’ve already subdued the culprit. The person in the courtyard is called Qiao Gui, he’s Qiao Zhuang’s second son. He went to Qiao Mei’s house in the middle of the night to set fire to her house, but we caught him. More than 20 chickens and ducks in Qiao Mei’s house were also poisoned to death by him,” Zhao Liang told the truth.
Chen Hu walked downstairs angrily and gave Qiao Gui a kick with all his strength!
“Men! Lock this bastard up! Get someone to wake him up! What a mess!” Chen Hu roared angrily.
The soldiers dragged Qiao Gui down. Zhao Liang caught up from behind and said, “Qiao Mei is fine. This person was knocked out before he could do anything.”
“Thank you for the hard work, Village Chief Zhao. I’ll have to trouble you to go back and ask Qiao Mei to write a complaint letter. Just say that I’m asking her to write it and she’ll naturally understand. Also, write down the crimes committed by their family and ask all the villagers to put their fingerprints on it. Then leave this matter to me,” Chen Hu said.
It did not matter if Qiao Mei did not know how to write the letter. Chen Hu could help her and then get Qiao Mei to sign it when the time came.
Zhao Liang nodded. It appeared that Chen Hu was going to use his connections to punish the evildoer severely. He quickly rushed back to the village in the horse carriage.
Everyone had received help from Qiao Mei all this while. Besides, Qiao Zhuang’s family had really done all those evil deeds. It was just a matter of signing the statement. Once Zhao Liang reached the village, he gathered everyone to go to the village office to sign off on the statement.
Zhao Liang told Qiao Mei exactly what Chen Hu said. Qiao Mei could not help but smile. As expected of Uncle Hu, he was so thorough.
This matter was also very simple and could be considered to be her profession. In her other life, she had often written such documents. She wrote down everything that Qiao Gui did to her family. She even calculated the number of dead chickens and ducks as she wanted Qiao Gui to pay for each and every one of them!
Particularly those chickens fed with medicinal herbs. They were all meant to be sold to He Ning! One chicken could sell for 10,000 dollars! It was such a loss!
She also made many embellishments about how miserable these people made Qiao Qiang and her. Soon, the complaint letter and the statement from the villagers were delivered to Chen Hu.
Chen Hu could not stop smiling after reading Qiao Mei’s complaint letter. This little girl was really smart. These things she wrote were much better than he had expected.
Qiao Mei also stated in the complaint letter that Qiao Qiang was an old war hero and that she was now a military spouse. The higher-ups quickly sent someone to verify this matter.
They found a few key witnesses and checked the scene to confirm Qiao Gui’s crime. In less than three days, the matter was settled.
The news reached Foshan Village quickly. Of course, the first person to know was definitely Auntie Dong.
“Mei Mei! Go and take a look at the poster at the village entrance! Qiao Gui has been sentenced to 20 years in jail! He also has to compensate your chickens and ducks with 500 dollars! Come with me to take a look!” Auntie Dong said happily.
Qiao Mei felt that the 20-year jail sentence was not bad, but the amount of 500 dollars was too little. Those chickens and ducks were worth at least 1,000 dollars!
